STAT OF THE WEEKEND: 60th -- the anniversary of Ferrari's first World Championship win, also at Silverstone.

HISTORICAL STAT OF THE WEEKEND: Much was said about the above mentioned Ferrari victory 60 years ago, their first World Championship Formula 1 win. Here are the details. Silverstone was a 2.888-mile track at the time as the race ran for 90 laps (253.774 miles) on a dry track. From pole position, Argentinean driver José Froilán González took the win, 51 seconds over Juan Manual Fangio, the only other driver on the lead lap. (González's only other victory was also in the British GP in 1954 also in a Ferrari.) Italian drivers drove a Ferrari to third (Luigi Villoresi) and a DNF (Alberto Ascari). Ferrari also finished ninth with American Peter Whitehead.

QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND: Jenson Button telling his team what happened when his right front wheel came off, "The left front wheel is off."

QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND RUNNERUP: Red Bull's team principal, Christian Horner, on whether he was surprised Mark Webber ignored team orders, "Erm... yes."

SCHEDULE: The blown exhaust ban is no more, reverting back to the rules at Valencia. So, back to the same old, same old at Germany?
